Out Of Africa To My Heart In America
Lamin B Jarju Age 5 (1998)
A Special Bond
I know not why God brought us together
But I know that he wants us to show love forever
I am blessed with the opportunity to sponser you
Always remember God loves you and I do too..
Always honor and love your grandmother
Show love and respect also to mother..
Pray to God for guidance and to show his earthy plan.
Ask God to be with you all of your life span..
For now Lamin as long as I am given the chance..
With Gods help I will help your life enhance..
Although in distance and cultures we are far apart
Lamin you and family will always be in my heart

Lamin 5th Birthday 4-98
Lamin is of the Jola tribe
He is being raised Muslim.
His father is deceased and his mother has remarried.
Lamin is now being cared for by his grandmother
who is a seasonal farmer and housewife.
The income is meager and cannot adequately
meet the needs of Lamin
therefore they have to depend most of the time
on the generosity of friends and neighbors.
My sponsorship through
Christian Childrens Fund
Helps provide his basic needs
Lamin is a gentle boy who enjoys
playing ball games with his friends
His health is good
Lamin is an only child
Lamin and his Mother
Lamin and family with female goat to be used to raise more and bag of rice
Lamin and Grandmother
Count Your Blessings
Ever compare your life to those with less?
And realize that you have really been blessed
Sharing and giving to those who have none
Can be the most rewarding thing you have ever done
Won't you help some precious child be fed today?
Help clothe and educate them so healthy they can stay
Think about if it were our children going without
If someone counted their blessings and without a doubt
Didn't hesitate to share with them a part of what they had
We'd truly understand the meaning of being glad...
I believe God would be proud of us his creation
If we each helped even one in need throughout the nation..
